I think there's science about this making people less stressed, probably

•

close your eyes for as long as you need and imagine what you'd most like to be doing

my go-tos are skiing, sailing, reading, & painting, in case you need a jumping off place for your own ideas

•

drink water! it can hardly hurt to hydrate.

because really... have you had enough to drink today? yeah, me neither

•

talk to or message someone who you care about & who cares about you & can lift you up

my guitar teacher from before I moved and I have had several conversations initiated because I just need a reminder that someone really really really believes in me & my ability to be ok (which he totally does)

•

scroll through Pinterest. focus on building up one or two boards at a time.

I use Pinterest to make character/media mood boards and working intensely on one at a time is really soothing for me

•

write a really detailed description of something. it can be anything, just use lots of nice adjectives and adverbs

like 'grotesque' or 'dreamily' or 'pulchritudinous'

•

watch a video of someone talking about something they're really passionate about

this works really well for me; watching people get excited about things they love is one of the most uplifting things in the world

•

silently try to recite all the way through a song or poem you love

it focuses you on just one things, giving the rest of your body/mind some time to recuperate and/or relax
